Phototastic Friday: Winning Geek

So when the final purchase of my shirt-tastic shopping spree came in (I mean, Rock – Paper – Scissors – Lizard – Spock!? How could you NOT buy?), it took all of 5 minutes for us to set up this shot Brandon took, and for me to submit with suggested caption of “You Spocking to me?”

It didn’t take ThinkGeek team long to approve the shot.Â James was surprised when he was browsing ThinkGeek and found my picture a couple of days later.

“Am I hallucinating or is this you?” he emailed.

I’m sooo certifiably geeky.Â AND proud of it!

My mom had always told me, according to all the fortune tellers, that I, like my dad, don’t have any “luck”.Â As in, we won’t win the “enter to win” type stuff or the lottery.Â Money won’t fall out of the sky or someone would give us anything out of the blue.Â We have to earn our success, making our own luck.

So far, I earned a couple of them this year.Â First was the Port of Long Beach photo contest which I was one of three winners–one other being Annette (@dananner).

And now this.

Mom and her army of fortune tellers was right.
